Discographisme Re-Creatif

Junkies should check out this new book by Patrice Caillet called "Discographisme Re-Creatif" one hundred and twenty eight pages of reclaimed sleeve art that Patrice and his crew have found in car boot sales, second-hand stores and other dead zones. The stuff I've seen is exquisite, extraordinary. I got roped in really late to help avant-garde poster boy Gwen Jamois translate Patrice's very thoughtful preface into English, so blame me for any bad grammer. I also sent Patrice one of my own sleeves:

a thoroughly goofy cover drawing I did as a teenager for my damaged copy of Lee Dorsey's "Yes We Can". It still makes me laugh.

Cosmic Snake-Oil.

Alphonze Rhizome. This is one of my better comics. I like this one. You may need Acrobat to read it, and I'm afraid you'll have to drag the image around to be able to clock it properly.

Blowing my own trumpet.

• Carl Wilson quotes my Shanty House theory in the Saturday edition of Canada's The Globe & Mail.
I'm sure you'll agree that it was inordinately generous of Carl to credit me.

• FACT magazine have taken me on as a columnist.
What were they thinking?

• You'll see my liner notes for the A Guy Called Gerald reissues ('28 Gun Bad Boy' and 'Machine Room Sessions') sometime early next year.
I'm STOKED about having had the opportunity to contribute to this.

• I seem to be getting a few more reviews into The Wire Mag.
Hooray!
